Subject[PATCH 79/91] SCSI: scsi_lib: fix potential NULL dereference
2.6.27-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

commit 03b147083a2f9a2a3fbbd2505fa88ffa3c6ab194 upstream.

Stanse found a potential NULL dereference in scsi_kill_request.

Instead of triggering BUG() in 'if (unlikely(cmd == NULL))' branch,
the kernel will Oops earlier on cmd dereference.

Move the dereferences after the if.

[ WT: starget is not set in 2.6.27 ]
